title: [Injuries of the frontal sinus].
abstract: The authors report their experience in the treatment of frontal sinus fractures, between 1979 and 1987, about 67 cases. --52% of these trauma involve alone, the anterior and/or posterior wall of the frontal sinus, with or without cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea; --the sinus surgery was composed of cranialization in 20 cases (30%) and open reduction with reconstruction, with or without tube to stent the nasofrontal duct, in 30 cases (48%). Two points appear to them, essential to guide the treatment: --osteomeningeal tear, --naso-frontal duct injury.
